The Abia State Government on Monday, November 25, sealed a campaign office linked to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Partners (RHP) in Umuahia.
The office, located on Ojike Street, serves as the South-East mobilisation hub for the President’s political structure championed by Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.
Officials from the Ministry of Lands and Housing pasted a notice on the entrance, declaring the property in violation of the Abia State Tax Law (Codification and Consolidation) Law No. 7 of 2020, specifically Sections 41 and 100.
The notice reads:
“Ministry of Lands and Housing. This property is in contravention of Sections 41 and 100 of the Abia State Tax Law (Codification and Consolidation), Law No. 7 of 2020, and it is hereby sealed.
Any person — including the owner/occupier, neighbour(s) or passer(s)-by — who attempts to unseal this building is in contravention of the Abia State Tax Law No. 7 of 2020. Be warned. Keep off.”
As of the time of filing this report, neither the RHP nor the office of the Deputy Speaker has issued an official reaction to the sealing.
